‘READ LIKE A PRO' PROGRAM BEGINS!

The "Read Like a Pro" program is designed to promote reading and literacy among youths. The Bulldogs are looking for 30 schools to participate, with a direct cash donation given to each. Participating schools can look forward to having $1000 donated towards new reading material, having a player visit the school to read to the students, having the school recognized on the scoreboard as a supporter of the ‘Read Like a Pro' program, and even a visit to the school from Bruiser himself! The registration deadline is February 10. For more details about this program or to register your school, please contact Chris Conant at (905) 777-2375 or by email at chris.conant@hamiltonbulldogs.com.
